Mitsubishi definitely punches above its weight. My wife bought an Outlander in 2006 and a friend of mine, who is an aerospace engineer looked it over- he was super impressed with the design, the suspension, the quality of the interior switchgear, and fit and finish. That car went through 5 years of use with us, and my daughter drove it for another 5 years before a wreck took it out of commission. Mitsubishi really has the quality part nailed down and we loved all the extra features it had at a lower price than the competition.
We have owned 6 Mitsubishis now and 5 friends and 2 family members own them as well. We have had a 15 Mirage ES, 16 Outlander Sport GT, 17 Mirage G4 SE, two 19 Eclipse Cross SEL Tourings, and a 21 Mirage SE. all purchased brand new. We now own the one 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL Touring with S-AWC and the 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage SE. My Dad owns a 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SE with S-AWC and loves it. I personally loved the split rear window on the 2018-2020 and was the reason I liked it so much was that it looked so different. We always buy new every few years and since we switched to Mitsubishi in 2015 we have never went back. They cant be beat for the reliability, features, warranty, and just overall owner satisfaction. They use time tested and proven powertrains vs updating every couple years which I prefer. They do not get the recognition they deserve in the USA and once people own one they love them. Looking at most Professional Car reviews on the Eclipse Cross or say the Mirage would scare people away and that is a total shame because once you drive one or look at the owner’s satisfaction and owner reviews its a whole different story. We love Mitsubishi and have had no issues. I think the updated Eclipse Cross and the all new Outlander will hopefully gain Mitsubishi the attention it truly deserves. My friend had her 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage (got new in Nov 2014) 5 and a half years and had not one issue and traded it on a new 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE (got new in early 2020) and then traded it on a 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE lol. My friend Kay and I will only buy Mirages and we have each owned 3 lol and just love them!!! A girl that works next door has a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer with close to 200,000 miles on it and has had no issues just regular maintenance and several CVT fluid flushes. They are great cars and once again use time tested and proven engines and platforms and do not change things constantly which in turn gives them strong reliability. Thank you Mitsubishi.
Im on a budget and looking at 2019 cross awd. Im looking for reliability #1. I dont need bells and whistles. I need it to be saf and not break down. I keep my cars around 10 years. Thank you for your honest onput!
@@climbybimby They really are good SUVs. Mitsubishis are very good in general for reliability. We have owned 6 Mitsubishis. Plus the 4B40 engine 1.5L 4 cylinder turbo in the Eclipse Cross is based on the 4A9 engine from Mitsubishi which is an older design time tested and proven so by updating that engine they came up with the Eclipse Cross 4B40 engine. So its more reliable and simple for a turbo and will last and is based on a proven engine design. I recently went back to a new Mirage (have owned 3 Mirages now) and got a red 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage SE and traded my blue Eclipse Cross on it. I love small cars and have a sweet spot for the Mirage line. We still have our red 2019 Eclipse Cross and my Dad bought a black 2020 Eclipse Cross SE. He loves his too!
I really love my 2022 Eclipse Cross. The things that I don't like is that there isn't a power rear lift gate and the doors do not lock automatically. I have to remind myself to lock the doors while driving. The best part is everyone is thinking I'm driving a Lexus🤣🤣
We went from a 2014 Toyota Rav4 to a 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (Black Edition) and absolutely love it. Power is great, Fuel economy is slightly better than the Rav4 and it has a quality feel about it. Zero issues after 2 years of ownership. PS we prefer our back end , that brake light that goes across the back window actually blocks headlight glare from vehicles behind you at night . Are your MPG numbers Per US gallon because on long highway trips we regularly get 33 MPG Imperial .
That light bar across the back is actually a reference back to the spoiler of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe. And you can see better with the lower glass. But I do like the look of the 2022 design.
With their new design, Mitsubishi sends the message that it means business. The products have had a good reputation over the years in terms of quality and the EVO was a hot awd sports sedan that was doing well in a rallye. You are right that the Mitsubishis tend to be overlooked now. Yet the Pajero was popular in the 90s. Nice review Andrea and Zack, thank you.
You guys are the first with the review this 22 cross sport. Like the new design. The night life section is good but how about doing night video review so we can see vehicle lighting.
Andrea is gorgeous! Wow! On another note, great review guys, loved it. Keep up with the great content, so fun to watch you throughout the week instead of just Saturday.
Mitsubishi makes extremely reliable cars, my family has had 4: Montero Sport, Montero limited, and the 06' and 07' eclispe. I gave mine to my nephews and my cousin still has hers but the Monteros died close to 270k miles, good run though.
The Eclipse Cross has gone through a nice transformation! I would pick the new Outlander though if I was shopping for a new Mitsubishi. It's nice to see Mitsubishi bring out some new vehicles that are competitive with the rest of the competition.
We just picked up the 2022 Eclipse Cross GT. We love it! I agree it's a sleeper but if you test drive it you'll fall in love. I also like the block heater plug that comes out at the front of the grill.. Great for the cold months in Canada.
Love the Mitsubishi brand...we have a 2017 RVR we have driven all over NA and it’s still as solid as a rock. The AWD is second to none in the snow here in Calgary.
I'm in Calgary as well and am looking into a Eclipse Cross! Have you ever driven a Subaru? I have an Impreza and love the AWD so I'm wanting something that can compete.
@@brendanbeast123 i have never driven a Subaru but i do know people who have them and to be bluntly honest, i have never heard them complain. The new styling on the Cross is really nice and i know that it uses the same AWC as the RVR. I also have a GMC Sierra 4X4 and .. I'm no expert but...in bad weather I feel i'm more in control in the Mitsubishi. Honestly...(unless it blows up) next time we are looking for a daily driver, the Mits dealer will be our first stop
Perfect time to watch your review while eating take out lunch in Vancouver. The original Eclipse Cross looks like an Aztec, the refresh makes it far easier for the eyes.
Always personally hated the Eclipse Cross because they used the legendary name of the earlier coupe but also b’c of the rear, which always reminded me of the Pontiac Aztek 🥴 but now seems Mitsubishi is improving their aesthetic including the upcoming Outlander sharing Rouge parts - good to see the brand moving in the right direction once again. Great review as always! 🔥
I agree with all you said except it being good the Outlander comes with a Nissan powertrain. Mitsubishi over the years has demonstrated a lot less premature JATCO CVT8 issues than Nissan. I believe it's because their programming and specs are different versus Nissan's CVT8. Mitsus tend to be underpowered vs Nissan which translates to less strain on the CVT.
Great review. Only thing I wish more folks could comment on is resale value. With the compact footprint of this eclipse, lots of people will upgrade to something bigger as their family grows. Good idea to compare resale values of older generation eclipse crosses to older RAV4s, and get a clear financial comparison!
And when you consider buying a Mitsubishi, people tell you to get a Toyota instead because they say it's better. I still have my 2012 Lancer and it's been a great car. Great brand!
I hope Mitsu stays in the US. I really like their cars. I have a Mirage which I love & it’s fun to drive. Also you can’t beat their warranty. Nice review. New sub here 😊
@@inspectorjavert5563 in the Eclipse Cross, yes. It has sport shift mode as well and that's where the CVT shines. Eco mode is good when sitting in traffic during rush hour. I just wish the 2022 was AWD standard & not trim based.
Bah you are killing me. I was all set on the new Outlander (here in Canada) and checked out your review. LOVE IT. But now I am in this "in between" model. I had never considered the Eclipse Cross. We had an RVR GT and loved it. I wish the Eclipse Cross did the same thing as the new Outlander and offered the PANO sunroof on LOWER trims other than having to GO ALL the way to the top. Sigh. I love the look of this thing but at least here in Canada if I am not mistaken, the TOP end Eclipse is almost $3K more than the Outlander (one up from base that has the PANO) and you get a bigger vehicle with the new Outlander. Sigh, decsions.
Nice review and thanks for using my question. I would have looked at this against my Rav4 Hybrid but was not crazy about the previous version (split rear view and touch pad).
neighbors have 2 Mitsi's and love them...they do offer a great warranty and they seem to have upped their styling game too..for the $$ they are worth a look for sure..the old Colts were some tough too...remember the power/economy lever on the manual transmissions in the 80's?
One of the things I think is missing is those standard driver assistant tech seen in Toyota, Honda, and Subaru. That would make Mitsubishi's offerings a bit more appealing. You can say Subaru and Mitsubishi are both small auto manufacturers and could compete with each other given the standard AWD systems. What Subaru has for them is the standard Eyesight while if you want that driver assistance in Mitsubishi, you need to pay more by going to the higher trims, almost top trim from what I remember.
Great review. I love the editing. As for this Mitsubishi? Something doesn’t quite seem balanced, stylistically. I’m not certain if this product will age well. And for the same entry price as the RAV4 and Escape? If they entered the market for a few grand less, they wouldn’t be able to keep them in stock (at a dealership). But for the price of fully Loaded GT... there are far too many options. Lest I mention... resale value? Thanks for another review.
In regards to Mitsu CVT transmission. I bought a brand new 2010 Mitsu Lancer SE and drove it for 8 years with 140,000 KM. No problem with the CVT transmission at all.
@@Motormouth... We got the car! Its not a bad commuter car and looks reliable, but to be honest its a bit dated and missing basic features standard on new base model cars today like LKAS, ACC, and even a heads up display on the SE trim which is disappointing for the price point. Wish we got a Hyundai Tucson 2022 instead, or even an upgraded Kona for cheaper, but we are stuck on a 5 year finance now ouch!
Great video as always . I’m just not sure if the new owners will destroy them slowly now that they’re part owners...hope not. Nissan products were very good, but now.....terrible....😔
In middle east this car and its rivals are A LOT cheaper. The pre-facelift top trim model is roughly $22k and the base fwd model is under $20k. And this is _before_ discounts that Mitsu often gives on the price.
It's coming out on Wednesday, April 6th when the embargo lifts. Some people have put out a review without driving impressions because we are not allowed to talk about the drive. But, we would prefer to put a review out with everything in it. :)
Another fine video From Mr And Mrs Spencer Zack, I missed Jack the Last Two Monday’s he was out being a kid give him a high five for me Stay Well as always😀👌✌️
I bought one just over six months ago, driven 18 000 km, and regret it. Fuel consumption given as 2ltr/100km, reality is rarely less than 7. On autobahns (120 - 130kmh) you can expect 9 - 10 ltr/100k. Range is therefore inadequate, especially in France where there are often long distances between junctions and fuel stations. Several times I tanked with only just over 1ltr in the tank. The navi is next to useless in that as soon as the sun gets near the horizon the screen goes into night mode and is unreadable. I tried finding a route to the nearest filli8ng station ... it took me to a green field and then to a station that sold only diesel for trucks. Use a smart phone with Google Maps or Michelin. The range in the batteries is only about 30 km... I don't bother to charge up any more, especially as electricity is a more expensive fuel than petrol in Germany. Tank contents indication is inaccurate. Example: Distance to cheap fuel, 150km. Indicated range in tank, 200+. 10km before the fuel station the fuel contents shows 0 The rear hatch is a problem in underground car parks with a low ceiling because of the angle below the rear window. The light in the luggage area is useless. It needs to be repositioned so that it shines down on the luggage area when the back is open. Plus points: it is comfortable and quiet except when the engine is working hard. Lights are excellent. Four-wheel drive in snow is superb.
I really like the Night life segment of your video. Makes me wonder why no one else does this in their reviews. Nice work! The interior is extremely dated especially when compared to the Hyundai/Kia competition. Also, the 13.5 gallon gas tank is way too small. Mitsubishi should have went at least 15 gallons for decent range.
9.3l per 100k = 30.3 mpg imperial(Highway) and 9.6l per 100k is 29.4 mpg(city) fuel efficiency stated on Mitsubishi website 2/08/2024. They must have tweaked the engine.
Did anyone installed LED on Outlander 2019 ? My outlander is basic with low beam projection with halogen bulb i want to change it and install LED but the mechanics said can’t install it because its twist system and all the led comes with clip system its very disappointing
They have the premium model in this video. You don't get the led headlights, sunroof and leather interior or awd. All models come with safety features standard. Hybrid model is just been released. Most vehicles these days are cvt. Cvt got its bad name from the older days. Cvt has really advanced now and most are better than manuals. They also have tiptronic option to use manual gear changes on cvt.
If mitsubishi made these vehicles with a timing chain instead of a timing belt (and preferably lose the CVT) I'd go out and buy one tomorrow. But unfortunately most are stuck with looking at Toyotas for reliability. If I'm paying 25-30k+ I don't want to have to spend another 3-4k to have a timing belt job done every 60-80k... I've never heard anything good of these CVT transmissions either, and while I know emissions have alot to do with the implementation of it, I'd much rather stick to an automatic transmission. Hell id prefer a manual but...
I live in Sydney Australia. I have just ordered a new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. There is a 2 month waiting time for delivery. Although it probably doesn't matter much in Canada but there is NO A/C feed into the back seat, the other bad point is there is no tinted glass in this car and we had to order the dealer stick the tinting on as an afterthought. This is subject to bubbles and peeling at the edges. We wanted the 10 year warranty but we had to go to a Mitsubishi dealer for each service otherwise the warranty would be voided.
They are missing out by not making light off road versions of there vehicles, they already have decent ground clearance, an additional inch of clearance, thicker sidewall tires along with there awd system and it would attract customers that shop subarus.
I’m actually a Toyota guy but there’s not a big selection where i live so I’m looking on buy a Mitsubishi for my next car they have more cars there for me to get
It's a very good looking car. Power output is fine for the class. It's just the nasty cvt that kills it for me. If it had a dct or even conventional tra transmission it would be so so much better
I got a Mitsubishi commercial before this! Perfect

Never heard of a Mitsubishi cvt failing in mass. They are very reliable.
The Eclipse Cross PHEV was already released in Japan early this year. It used the similar powertrain with the current Outlander PHEV. :D

Mitsubishi all day! ❤️
An afterthought the Mitsubishis are made in Japan. Australia hasn't made cars for 8 years now. Sad loss actually.
Great video as always . I’m just not sure if the new owners will destroy them slowly now that they’re part owners...hope not. Nissan products were very good, but now.....terrible....😔
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
If Mitsubishi wants to compete, they need to drop their prices to actually make people buy them.
In middle east this car and its rivals are A LOT cheaper.
The pre-facelift top trim model is roughly $22k and the base fwd model is under $20k. And this is _before_ discounts that Mitsu often gives on the price.
Outlander review can't wait!
It's coming out on Wednesday, April 6th when the embargo lifts. Some people have put out a review without driving impressions because we are not allowed to talk about the drive. But, we would prefer to put a review out with everything in it. :)
Another fine video From Mr And Mrs Spencer Zack, I missed Jack the Last Two Monday’s he was out being a kid give him a high five for me Stay Well as always😀👌✌️
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it I certainly will give Jack a high five, I will let him know he's missed on the show.
I bought one just over six months ago, driven 18 000 km, and regret it.
Fuel consumption given as 2ltr/100km, reality is rarely less than 7. On autobahns (120 - 130kmh) you can expect 9 - 10 ltr/100k. Range is therefore inadequate, especially in France where there are often long distances between junctions and fuel stations. Several times I tanked with only just over 1ltr in the tank. The navi is next to useless in that as soon as the sun gets near the horizon the screen goes into night mode and is unreadable. I tried finding a route to the nearest filli8ng station ... it took me to a green field and then to a station that sold only diesel for trucks. Use a smart phone with Google Maps or Michelin.
The range in the batteries is only about 30 km... I don't bother to charge up any more, especially as electricity is a more expensive fuel than petrol in Germany.
Tank contents indication is inaccurate. Example: Distance to cheap fuel, 150km. Indicated range in tank, 200+. 10km before the fuel station the fuel contents shows 0
The rear hatch is a problem in underground car parks with a low ceiling because of the angle below the rear window. The light in the luggage area is useless. It needs to be repositioned so that it shines down on the luggage area when the back is open.
Plus points: it is comfortable and quiet except when the engine is working hard. Lights are excellent. Four-wheel drive in snow is superb.
i had a 1974 dolt colt great car
Wow, that's so great, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for your rundown of the Mitsubishi Eclipse..
Our pleasure!
nice video very helpful 👍👍👍👍👍
I really like the Night life segment of your video. Makes me wonder why no one else does this in their reviews. Nice work! The interior is extremely dated especially when compared to the Hyundai/Kia competition. Also, the 13.5 gallon gas tank is way too small. Mitsubishi should have went at least 15 gallons for decent range.
The style is much better looking, thanks for sharing with us. The engine is way too small, even with Turbo not enough power.
Thanks for watching!
Good review, not a big seller here in Australia but it's a viable option in the segment
Thanks so much!
Are you guys like the Mitsubishi of the auto review world, i.e under-rated? Another clear concise and fun review...keep it up guys!! :)
Beautiful car
Bought a 2016 orange sort in 16 still have it and its been a great vehicle
I had a Colt in the UK , sold as a Mitsubishi , back in the day !
I don't get the fascination with sunroof. I have had and still have a car with one, but never open if after trying a few times.
I just like a sunroof, I feel it really opens up the vehicle.
Interesting fact...that Nissan Alliance also includes Samsung Motors.
Wouldn't it be the Honda HR-V and Toyota C-HR and possibly the Ford EcoSport. Rav4, CR-V and Escape compete more with the Outlander, don't they?
9.3l per 100k = 30.3 mpg imperial(Highway) and 9.6l per 100k is 29.4 mpg(city) fuel efficiency stated on Mitsubishi website 2/08/2024. They must have tweaked the engine.
when doing comparisions most reviewers do not mentions Mitsubishi ................... had a dodge colt great car
the colt was my first new car loved it we have rvr now
Did anyone installed LED on Outlander 2019 ? My outlander is basic with low beam projection with halogen bulb i want to change it and install LED but the mechanics said can’t install it because its twist system and all the led comes with clip system its very disappointing
Thank you for the night photos, but your music is way too loud!
Good Video from an “Unthought of Brand”
Thank for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
I like the 2022 Mitsubishi models; nice changes to the Ellipse, and to the Outlander.
Its not overlooked .. people don't wants it.
Mitsubishi isn't listening to people.
YOU WELCOME
They have the premium model in this video. You don't get the led headlights, sunroof and leather interior or awd. All models come with safety features standard. Hybrid model is just been released. Most vehicles these days are cvt. Cvt got its bad name from the older days. Cvt has really advanced now and most are better than manuals. They also have tiptronic option to use manual gear changes on cvt.
I always want a sunroof because I get the money back when I sell the vehicle. Same with 4x4.
Great point!
I have lived in Canada for last 6 years and I rarely see a Mitsubishi
totally appreciate your auto journalism
Love this suv, very nice , but does the newer ones have a timing belt or timing chain ⛓ 🤔
I am impressed that you have asked this question. I also would like to know if it is chain or a belt.
@@gerrycarney6456 it has timing chain
If mitsubishi made these vehicles with a timing chain instead of a timing belt (and preferably lose the CVT) I'd go out and buy one tomorrow. But unfortunately most are stuck with looking at Toyotas for reliability. If I'm paying 25-30k+ I don't want to have to spend another 3-4k to have a timing belt job done every 60-80k...
I've never heard anything good of these CVT transmissions either, and while I know emissions have alot to do with the implementation of it, I'd much rather stick to an automatic transmission. Hell id prefer a manual but...
The 1.5L engine has a timing CHAIN, not belt. I would not worry about engine reliability.
Strange variants for consideration: why not corolla cross, honda h-rv?
Heated steering wheel?
They need a sport version, Ralliart or Evo.
How is the NVH on this car? I saw in another video that this car doesn't have any under-body covering.
Great looking car
I live in Sydney Australia. I have just ordered a new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. There is a 2 month waiting time for delivery. Although it probably doesn't matter much in Canada but there is NO A/C feed into the back seat, the other bad point is there is no tinted glass in this car and we had to order the dealer stick the tinting on as an afterthought. This is subject to bubbles and peeling at the edges. We wanted the 10 year warranty but we had to go to a Mitsubishi dealer for each service otherwise the warranty would be voided.
They need to work on fuel mileage which hopefully comes with more hybrid vehicles, and I agree on the 1.5 turbo in the RVR.
They are missing out by not making light off road versions of there vehicles, they already have decent ground clearance, an additional inch of clearance, thicker sidewall tires along with there awd system and it would attract customers that shop subarus.
I’m actually a Toyota guy but there’s not a big selection where i live so I’m looking on buy a Mitsubishi for my next car they have more cars there for me to get
Nice and simple review.
Thank you!
I have the es..,2022.i want to up grade.what model do you recomend
It's a very good looking car. Power output is fine for the class. It's just the nasty cvt that kills it for me. If it had a dct or even conventional tra transmission it would be so so much better
Would love to see you review a 2021 Chevrolet Blazer RS...haven’t seen one on your channel.
Nice looking Suv but i'm not a huge fan of the steering wheel design, especially the blank switches on there.
I believe that if the wheels were wider the vehicle will look nice and solid
The interior feel is like the grandfather standing with a cane.
damn
its actually quite nice looking
Anyway for Mitsu to send you guys the PHEV version that JPN/AUS markets get?
Come to Kathmandu, u'll see lot of Pajero..
Splendid review
Thank you!
